CURRENCY-HOLDER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Dec. 8, 1914..

Application filed February 27, 1914. Serial No. 821,611.

T all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FRANK J I{OHLHAAS. a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Calumet, in the county of l-loughton and State of Michigan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Currency-Holders, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings.

This invention relates to improvements in currency-holders and particularly to improvements in the currency-holder described and shown in United States Patent No. 986,069 granted me March 7th, 1911; and an object of this invention is to provide a currency-holder which may readily be lengthened or shortened and which will be substantially noiseless in operation and use.

In the drawings illustrating the principle of this invention and the best mode now known to me of applying that principle, Figure 1 is a plan View of my new currencyholder; Fig 2 is a side elevation of the same, partly in section; Fig. 3 is an end view in the direction of the arrow A on Fig. 2,

partly in section; and Fig. 4; is a detail which shows the follower-plate in holding position.

The abutment-plate a is provided with legs I) the lower ends or feet a of which are shod with buffers d of rubber or other suitable material and in which are anchored -the rear ends 6 of the side-bars e. These sidebars are sectional in construction; and, as is obvious from an inspection of Fig. 2, the extension-pieces 0" may be removed by unscrewing them from one another and from the main sidebar 6 and may as readily be assembled in place in order to lengthen the latter. At the front end of the currencyholder there is provided a stop-plate f having feet f shod with buffers f of rubber or other suitable material. At each of its ends this follower-plate is formed with a hole f through which is passed a screw-bolt g the threaded end of which is adapted to engage in a correspondinglv threaded socket c with which the front end of each extension-piece e and of each main side-bar e is formed.

Therefore, when all the extension-pieces e" are removed, the stopplate f is fastened by the bolts 9 to the front ends of the main sidebars e. As in my aforesaid patent, the follower-plate h is provided with a pair of legs h the lower ends of which are formed with holes h. The axes of the latter are inclined at an angle of about 10 to the axes of the side-bars e; and from this construction it results that the follower-plate h is mounted free to tilt on the side-bars c. When the follower-plate is thrown toward the abutment-plate a, the follower-plate is released so that it may he slid along the side-bars toward or from the abutment-plate a. When the follower-plate is in holding position (that is, thrown away from the abutment-plate) it is still inclined from the latter, the distance between the bases of these plates being then greater than the disleft between the side-bars e and the table a free space which permits the unimpeded tilting of the follower-plate h.

I claim:

1. A currency-holderincluding a pair of sectional side-bars the sections of which are formed with section-engaging means bV which the sections are interlocked with each other; an abutmentplate which is fastened to said side-bars; a follower-plate sildablv mounted on the latter; a stop-plate adapted to be fastened to the ends of said side-bars; and devices for fastening said stop-plate to said sections in turn as the side-bars are built up; said fastening devices being adapted and designed to co-act with said sectioncngaging means.

2. A currency-holder including a pair of sectional side-bars; an abutment-plate which is fastened to the same; a follower-plate slidably mounted on said side-bars; and a stop-plate fastened to the ends of said sidebars; said abutment-plete and stop-plate be- A.
